JM, you mean you think it might be wrong to tax cigarettes at nearly 300% in some areas? Didn't we split from England for less than that? The worst part is the government allows the tobacco companies to be sued, and then makes more money from cigarettes than the tobacco companies themselves. I surprised no one has successfully sued the government for damages from smoking, they have made more money than anyone from the tobacco industry.

Thanks for your reply on the T-W situation. It doesn't really sound that great, though - qbid can't broadcast through anyone else, but T-W doesn't have to carry the signal unless they deem there is enough interest. Am I reading that right? I still think the interest may be there, but it would be nice to have the full support of a major player like that

John, Post is not directed at you.

The battle has begun !

There was time that Marriage out of your "Race" was illegal in USA.


IMHO This all cames down to Human Rights. It's only a matter of time for, Gay Marriage to be legal in USA. I would think this would be Freedom of choice. Who you decide to marry is a choice.

It can't be decide on a religious factor either. That would be against the law. As in Par say.
